Corporate Ladder? In Some Companies, Still a Scaffold

While a woman in the U.K. presents a sexual discrimination suit against a bank in Britain, another suit has been commenced against a bank in the U.S. The women in the latter suit, who worked for the Wall Street bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein Securities LLC, cite an old boys’ club atmosphere (including the cliched “strip club” trips with clients that serve to bond male employees while alienating female employees) and job growth stunted by maternity leave as two great stumbling blocks on their journeys up the corporate ladder.
